TYC 1918 full alum fab- is this MUD OCD?

[Desert Dino]

RON Davis to reach for my blood
I have approached a custom rad manufacturer that works mainly in the army and they work according to all specs including MIL.

ש.ש רדיאטורים its in Hebrew sorry, but there are alot of pics of before and after.

The plan is to get TYC from amazon

And let them take all plastic out and make all alum rad

Cost - 300$


Am I mud mad?

So $300 + the cost of the TYC? The most important part of a heat exchanger is the core not the tanks. I would probably spend the money on buying a better core if you are going to have end tanks fabricated anyways.

So @Kernal what is your point. It is a well known fact

Do you know of a better core then TYC for solving the overheating problem?

At this rate our economy is going, China will be passing US soon enough if not so already....

just buy the tyc and run it as is? i have had one for 2 years now in GA heat and it has held up. i know we arent as hot as where you are but we arent that much cooler.

 

[Heckraiser]

Buy two TYC's and pack one up in bubble wrap and keep it in the shed? Seems like if you're going custom like that, might as well spring on the Ron Davis or leave "well enough" alone.

Just my $.02

RD FTW. Do it right the 1st time....enough cooling for even the under powered 3FE with full heavy armor on 37s...185 F on highway w/ AC and <193 F on hill climbs.

R D is too expensive to import to Israel it will cost 2500 US$ this is crazy

In Amy case 3FE does not have the cooling problem of 1FZ-FE

3FE/1FZ-FE, all has the similar cooling system design and flaw. Just because 3FE is more susceptible to overheating, doesn't mean it does not have cooling problems for a 25+ yr old rig.

I would look at getting a core from C&R Racing or Bell Intercoolers. Both should sell you a core the exact size you need and they would be a higher quality core than the TYC. In the long run it would probably transfer heat better and last longer as long as whoever made the end tanks did a good job.

I like the idea and in theory, it is sound. The TYC core has the best perfomance of any of the radiators that the AZ guys are running in the hot SW. So, I don't think you're going to improve much on effenciency doing what @scottryana is suggesting below and for sure, it would be more expensive.

So you explained what you wanted to do and they quoted you $300? I just have some doubts that the cost will remain that low. There's a reason the RD radiators are expensive. But, more power to ya...just please update this thread to keep us informed!

Just run it as it is, bring distilled water and a few tubes of quicksteel. You will be set after that.

I would trust that more than someone takes a good radiator and weld aluminum to it, aluminum isn’t easy to weld and without heat treatment is actually quite fragile.

@scottryana

Do you have any information on the performance of those cores Vs. TYC at extreme load and hot climate? On FZJ80?

I have no time, neither the money for such experiments

No one has an explanation why TYC performs better than KOYO rad or the OEM I had

In any case, if I want different core I can to order from the local factory the all self made rad they manufacture HD Alum cores in any size by copying the OEM. Using database, they have or custom engineering

Cost of 80 HD full Alum rad 700 US$ this comes with guarantees
